Quote from Lambda Legal Senior Counsel Omar Gonzalez-Pagan that reads, "Today, we urged the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit to affirm what the district court below already made clear: that Puerto Rico cannot single out nonbinary people for unequal treatment and deny them the same access to accurate identity birth certificates that everyone else receives. To deny nonbinary Puerto Ricans documentation that is congruent with who they are erases their identities and forces them to carry inaccurate documentation."
